Definitions

  • the invention finds an advantageous application for the establishment of a band for damping the rolling noise of a tire, especially for motor vehicles.
  • the strip is packaged in a coil, and is previously subjected on one of its faces to the application of an adhesive coated with a protective film, which should be removed as and when the place of the band.
  • the problem to be solved by the invention is to allow the installation and fixing, automatically, inside a pneumatic band, whose length is substantially equal to the inner circumference of said tire.
  • the device implements means constituted by self-centering arms whose free or motorized ends bear against the tread of the tire.
  • the rotation of the tire is driven by motorized rollers controlled in position by encoders ensuring the absence of sliding of the tire relative to the drive rollers.
  • the self-centering arms are mounted in relation to the support receiving the tire, which support is mounted with displacement capacity to be positioned at the right of the guide means of the strip.
  • the tire is positioned flat on the support, between the self-centering arms, said support being secured to an actuator member to be moved vertically in height.
  • the guide means of the strip are constituted by an inclined chute having internal arrangements for holding the strip in its final laying position for its gripping by the linear drive means,
  • the linear drive means of the strip are arranged at the end of the routing and guiding chute.
  • the invention applies to all types of tires, whatever their dimensions, for all types of motor vehicles, with a view to the continuous, automatic placing of a strip inside. of the tire, with the aim of significantly reducing rolling noise and the like.
  • the invention can be applied for the implementation of bands, of the type of those defined in the document US 2011/0308677 , without thereby excluding other types of characteristic bands determined and adapted to the dimensions of the tire being capable of being made in different materials.
  • the tire is designated by (P) and the band, regardless of its type, by (B).
  • the device comprises tire centering positioning means (P) on a support (1).
  • These means are constituted by self-centering arms (2) whose free or motorized ends are provided to bear against the tread of the tire (P).
  • the self-centering arms (2) are angularly offset. These arms are mounted on a fixed part of a frame for example, being subject to a control cylinder (4) for their angular displacements in the direction of the tread of the tire.
  • the tire (P) is positioned flat on the support (1), between the self-centering arms (2).
  • the support (1) is subjected to an actuator member (4), such as a jack, to be displaced vertically in height, in order to be positioned in relation to the guide means and driving the band (B) towards the inside of the tire, as will be indicated in the following description.
  • the rotation of the tire (P) is driven by motorized rollers (5), controlled in position by encoders (3) to avoid any risk of sliding of the tire relative to said rollers.
  • the strips (B) are transferred from a storage location, by any known and appropriate means into an inclined guide chute (6) to direct them towards the inside of the tire.
  • the chute (6) has internal arrangements to maintain the strip in its final removal position for its gripping by linear drive means.
  • these linear drive means are disposed at the end of the routing and guiding chute (6), and may be constituted by motorized rollers.
  • this difference in speed between the rotation of the tire (P) and the linear drive of the belt (B) is important to allow, surprisingly and unexpectedly, the end-to-end attachment of the ends ( B1) and (B2) of the band (B), after placement inside the tire.
  • This speed difference subjects the web to a compression effect, so that the length of said web becomes smaller than its nominal length, which nominal length is greater than or equal to the internal perimeter of the tire.
  • the length of the strip is between X and X + 2 centimeters.
  • the two ends (B1) and (B2) of the strip (B) are separated by a space (e) during the installation inside the tire.
  • the strip (B) relaxes and scrapes the adhesive device (C), which naturally has a tendency to position itself at the ends of the strip so as to allow concomitantly a fastening end end of said ends.
  • Figures 7 and 8 which respectively show the compression of the band ( figure 7 ), then its loosening inherent in the end-to-end attachment of the ends of the strip ( figure 8 ).
  • the speed of rotation of the tire (P) is less than the linear drive speed of the belt (B) for perfect positioning of the belt inside the pneumatic, avoiding all phenomena of slippage with the aim that the strip is perfectly arranged flat inside the tire without any creases or defects, and perfectly fixed, including end to end at its ends.
  • the different characteristic data of the tire and the belt are entered in a specific program in order to ensure that this synchronization is perfectly synchronized between the speed of rotation of the tire and the linear drive speed of the belt.
  • the device can be integrated into an automated chain, incorporating several stations, namely a tire supply station, a cleaning station inside the tire, a pre-gluing station of the tire interior. , a centering center of the tire, a cutting system of the rolled strip, a position of placing the strip inside the tire and means of evacuation of the tire equipped with the strip.
